Fast Crossing: The Plan to Save the Sick Villain

Chapter 295 Small Outer Room (12)

The carriage turned around and moved forward in the direction of the palace. The breeze blew through the curtains of the carriage, creating a small gap.

Si Tu ate the candied haws, the sweet and sour taste exploded on the tip of his tongue.

Xuanwu Street was extremely lively today, and the carriage of the Wangfu was too spacious, so it was blocked in the middle of the road for a while.

Pedestrians come and go, all of them are blocked in this place.

And the peddlers doing business were also moaned and complained.

It's just because of the pressure from Duke Huai's mansion that he can only swallow this resentment.

"Chengwan, why don't we go another way."

It's not an option to go on like this, it's better for them to take a step back so that everyone can feel at ease.

Li Chengwan originally wanted to use force to open the way. Why did she make way for the poor?
But looking at Si Tu's expectant eyes, her hardened heart softened again.

Forget it, the left is just to give way once.

no big deal.

After biting the candied haws in his hand, Li Chengwan told the driver to make way and go back by another path.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, although the world in my eyes is gray, it also has a special flavor.

"Actually, small roads also have the beauty of small roads, so we don't necessarily have to take the main road."

Pointing to the green mountains and green waters outside, Si Tu took her hand and enjoyed the scenery with her.

Breathing the fresh air, Li Chengwan gradually relieved the stagnation in his heart.

"Why don't we go down for a walk, anyway, it's okay to go back now."

To her, the palace is nothing but a cage that restrains her for the rest of her life.

The longer she can escape, the happier she is.

"Okay, let the boy take out all the food we bought just now."

With such fine weather, having a picnic can make you feel better.

Si Tu chose the picnic spot in a small gazebo by the lake, where he can enjoy the scenery and have some snacks.

perfect!

"Chengwan, come and sit down."

After Si Tu arranged everything, he called Li Chengwan to come over.

The two had snacks, and the candied haws had already been eaten up.

Si Tu saw that she was not very interested, and there seemed to be some hesitation between her eyebrows and eyes, so she said,

"If Cheng Wan has something on his mind, don't keep it in your heart, it will happen after a long time."

As if being poked into his own thoughts, Li Chengwan blinked and smiled lightly,

"What can I do, but it's just a chore in the mansion."

As for Si Tu, she didn't know how to say this.

Since the death of her mother and concubine, she has never trusted anyone.

Even her father, she hated him in her heart.

Si Tu twisted a piece of mulberry and almond cake, put it to her mouth, and joked,

"He said he had nothing on his mind, even turning a blind eye to your favorite almond cake."

Almond shortbread?
Li Chengwan came back to his senses, only to realize that there were her favorite almond cakes in those packets of pastries!
"How did my little lady know that I love almond cake?"

Li Chengwan seemed to be chatting, but his inner guard had already risen.

If it weren't for someone close to her, they would definitely not know her preference.

Could it be that Si Tu approached her with ulterior motives?
"Last night when I entered your Lingxiao Pavilion, I saw almond cakes on the table. This morning, I knew I was going out, so I asked Wuxiang."

Seeing that her expression was not quite right, Si Tu looked up at her and asked again,

"You don't think I'm troubled, do you?"

After receiving the almond cake handed over by Si Tu, Li Chengwan's defensiveness gradually disappeared, and he smiled apologetically,

"How could it be, my little lady has a heart."

He took a bite of the pastry in his hand and put it down, Li Chengwan really had no appetite.

"Accordingly, the pastries in Zuixianlou should taste good, why don't you eat them?"

Si Tu saw that she had something on her mind, so he seduced her a little bit.

"Actually, I don't like to eat almond cake. The person who likes to eat it is my mother and concubine."

Everything in the Ling Xiao Pavilion is arranged according to the preferences of the mother and concubine.

Even her character and everything about her now are influenced by the subtle influence of her mother and concubine.

What to do, what not to do, she followed the wishes of the concubine mother.

Until the death of the concubine mother, she failed to get out of this artificially restricted area.

"The dead are dead, and the living must live for themselves."

Looking at the bitten piece of almond cake, Si Tu lowered his eyes, blocking the dark light in his eyes.

Before Princess Huai died, the last thing she wanted to see was her two sons and daughters fighting to the death for the family property.

And as parents, most of them are eccentric.

Before she died, she told Li Chengwan to respect her brother no matter what.

This is also the root of Li Chengwan's entanglement.

On the contrary, Li Chengde has no worries, and has attacked Li Chengwan more and more recently.

The internal strife in the palace is becoming more and more intense, how can she stop adding to the flames?
"I don't know how to live for myself. You must be aware of the affairs of the palace. My brother will not let it go."

But the appearance of mother and concubine begging bitterly before she died really made her unable to do so.

"Since that's the case, what else can Cheng Wan hesitate?"

Si Tu held her cold hand, his eyes were full of encouragement, and there was even a faint hint of temptation.

"But he... is my brother."

Si Tu paused, it seemed that Li Chengwan still couldn't make up his mind.

Then she had to do it.

"When I was young, Mrs. Liu often relied on my father's love and fearlessness to go to the Hanyu courtyard to show off my power. Every time my elder brother would protect me."

Aunt Liu?
Looks like a new character will be unlocked.

Si Tu held her palm tightly, assumed the attitude of a listener, and encouraged her to continue talking.

"Although the mother and concubine are the main family, the relationship with the father and the king is not as good as it seems. I only come to see it every year or a half."

Anyway, as long as they ensure that their brother and sister will not die.

As for his father's responsibility, he has not fulfilled half of it!
"Not long after, Aunt Liu became pregnant and gave birth to a boy. Unfortunately, she died before she was three years old."

Li Chengwan fell into painful memories, and his face became paler and paler, Si Tu couldn't bear to see it.

"If the memory is too painful, let it be."

Although she could get some useful information through this, she still didn't want the beautiful scenery in front of her to be broken by the crying.

Li Chengwan paused, his fists gradually clenched, tears rolled down his cheeks,

"The child who died young was framed by the Liu family and was killed by my mother and concubine. With some trivial evidence, my father believed it."

She remembered clearly that it rained heavily that night.

She hid in the closet with her elder brother, listening to her father's yelling at her mother and concubine.

Even the father, the king, had the idea of ​​abolishing the concubine!
It's too unfair to convict the mother and concubine just based on the one-sided words of a concubine's room!
In the end, she didn't know what they said, or what ulterior agreement they reached.
